His flow is delicious; his lyricism is perfect for those who seek something interesting and alarmingly significant in this world where everything seems to have morphed into an unbearable piece of half-retarded quips about loving strippers and wanting to by drinks for random chicks

Created over a 2 year period following his last release, None Shall Pass documents not only a vast amount of personal change that Aesop experienced over this time, but also deftly depicts scenes and stories relative to all ages of life.

No one really cares about Hip-hop anymore! Strong words for an unknown Internet reviewer such as myself, to utter I'll admit. But It's become old, dull and uninspiring on many levels. Turntableism?

When, of all people, Aesop Rock creates a single that's worthy of a reaction no better than a yawn, you know it's the end.
